ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:
I am the co-founder of soylent.com and lucy.co, both of which were funded by Y Combinator (Summer 2012 and Winter 2018).
I've been an entrepreneur for the last decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in Silicon Valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in funding.
I work mostly in tech-enabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible and then deliver them to the widest possible audience. I'm a big fan of machine learning, python programming, and motion graphics.

This video is really slick. No intro, no cruft. Starts off right in the action. I have a habit of skipping ahead 15-30 seconds every time I watch a new video under the assumption that there's a useless intro. It works quite well 99% of the time but was completely unnecessary here. Huge props.

When you are watching videos for free, you are actually paying your "viewership" which contend creators generate revenue via paid ads (thus making viewer part of the product, rather than the consumer). And this is how capitalism works in internet era my friend.

Content is here forever, people will come.
Having a historical knowledge of VCs can definitely help startup founders have more leverage in their company!
A lot of the Tech companies of today, were literally program names with workings within Stanford University. Basically, they were small ideas that were made big hence their names, I read this in a book, I’ll update when I find that book in my home library

Intel, Fairchild, National, Signetics built the Silicon Valley by making chips before software took over.

Bro this is my first time watching your channel and this is some amazing content dude! Keep up the great work.
This video is epic. Absolutely amazing work my man!
I love this channel- watching from Côte d'Ivoire- keep it up We ARE learning lots
I’m absolutely in love with this channel. Binge watching all your videos please keep them coming.
this was a nicely done video, welldone John👏👏👏👏👏keep up the good work
The fact that there was such a huge ruse in California for this talent is interesting. Seeing the social network made me notice that some of these startups were just some nerdy kids getting big wins with their idea.
I can't imagine talking for 14 minutes nonstop. I love the research you made, I wish list some of those movies in this video, thanks 👍 for the content
Awesome, i cannot tell you how much i loved it, I have already watched something ventured but this approach of showing evolution of early stage investment with a timeline is really helpful in understanding the whole picture. Thank you.
I love how he just gets right into it. immediately engaging!
I am watching your videos nonstop! Keep up the good work brother 🙏
When we start growing , we landed here. Thanks for the valuable content. God bless you ❤❤❤❤
Excellent video. I'm hooked, the quality of this video is amazing. Good job.
This is the video I didn't even think I needed yet as soon as I saw it a smile went up on my face
Fun fact: In 1968, Warren Buffett was serving on the board of trustees for Grinnell College in Iowa. One of Buffett's fellow board trustees, Bob Noyce, was raising the seed capital to start Intel. The college endowment decided to invest $100k in Intel (total round size was $2.5 million (Buffett wasn't the one who proposed the idea in the first place, but he did vote in favour of it, because he had full trust in the judgment of his fellow board members). Now, Buffett also had the opportunity to invest his own money in Intel, but he rejected, because he doesn't like technology investments. [source: The Snowball by Alice Schroeder p. 277]

For sure, basically every little detail I mentioned could easily be a whole video! Lots more coming soon!
Really i admire how you put together pieces of information
Just clicked the notification bell! Well researched and summarized presentation
The content you put out are incredible, I really enjoy the way you break things down and communicate them so clearly. 👍👍
Hi John, where have u been all my Y Tube life? Love your channel and your husky voice is very kind to my ears. You have a new subscriber!😊
You know your youtube channel is doing well when you have sponsors. Amazing job John Keep it going!
This video was so incredible! Great job!
Really enjoyed this. Thanks for inspiring me to make a vid of my own on the subject diving into the prelude to Silicon Valley's rise 🙏
Very indepth analysis there, John! You keep it up buddy!!
Rising up as some of my favourite channels to watch . Good stuff .
Gotta say that was a rare 15 minute video where I didn't feel like it could have been done in 2 minutes (and I didn't feel my time was wasted). Great to start with whaling and finish with masterworks too.
Another outstanding piece of content, John!
Love your channel!
This is EPIC❤❤💥 We need more videossss❤❤ I keep rewatching the previous videos.. Would love to know your perspective on influencer marketing and how earning online has become a boooom
Amazing video mate! Learned a lot in these 15 minutes.
Glad I didn't have to do the research on this. Very nice! Thanks!
This is such a good explanation mashed up with so random images of whatever movies its funny to watch.
This video is so to the point and really the most underrated channel with only likes in single digits
This channel is Gold. Most underrated channel in KZread
This is a great summary but if anyone wants to read a detailed history I’d recommend reading The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Art of Disruption.
I'm very impressed by the storytelling, much props.
Some of the best content I've seen on these topics.
You're one of the best storytellers in KZread. Thanks for your hard work 😁
This is literally a revelation. Great video!
you are a gemm. thank you all the way from zimbabwe

I am enjoying this broadcast. Great reporting.
Thats a good one‼️ Subscribed...
I don't understand much about these things, but I just love how this guy explains things
This was really knowledgeable!💯
Yay, sponsor! Congrats. What do you know about the pre ipo Grey market?
I'm currently reading *How Internet Happened,* really great history of the Internet. Must read.
I love your content and appreciate the effort you put into every video, but I would say that the clips of different movies and shows are rather distracting. It would be better to have animations or just your face instead of them, or at least fewer non-sequential clips. This would help us to focus a lot better! Cheers.
I really appreciate and enjoy your content. You do deep dives and bring valuable content!
Dude - so good I had to watch it twice.
Clucking Bell that was good. Wooh. I need to lie down for a bit.
Thanks for your contents I really needs that kind of contents
To think that venture capitalists could acquire companies and reap major rewards when the founding team typically doesn't get the same control over the direction of their own company goes to show that dual-class shares are important for control. Series A, B and C funding are helpful because owners can effectively get immense money to scale or grow their business without losing much control, shares or profit. Since every company does their equity contracts differently because of the ambiguity regarding the legal terms, some owners may be lucky in the deal while others might take a bullet.
The quality of content 🔥
Great story telling of really good story. Well done
Sebastian Mallaby's book "The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future" is all about this
Bro i guarantee you ll reach 1Million soon 🔜 keep Going my 💕
We Guys Need To Share some of his Vids
Great video and also what movies are in the background
Good videos man, but you don't need to use so many movie clips. I think visual of you talking would make points more clear. Check out the gravel institute video on the Irish famine to see what I mean. Otherwise great content, I like your videos and topics
Going to watch this later. Looks good
This is amazing! I was playing Valorant at the same time and can picture every single dialogue. :)
Congratulations thanks for powerful package inspiring story.
Watching infotainment videos is great. You are doing a great job.
great video dude thanks

Okay, it’s time for me to create a company. Edit: It’s my first time watching your channel and you just inspired me to create a company.

Interesting. I have one of those marketing "map of Silicon Valley" from around 1985 or so. There are at least 30 actual chipmakers there - names like IMI, IMP, Exel, Exar, VLSI Technology, SEEQ, IDT, Supertex, Micrel, Toshiba, Fairchild, Sipex, and the highly influential Ion Implant Services.
